Ruthe never gets around to even mentioning all of Michael Moores' lies.

DiCaprio, who helped develop "The Aviator," defends this fabrication. "The intent is the same, to show that Howard still loves her," he told me.CBS:But the subject in the National Guard memos is true!!!

Ray Charles' first wife isn't mentioned in "Ray," nor are nine of the children he fathered with five mistresses, one of them French.LOL!

Like someone actually believes that someone in Hollyweird would tell the truth? Much less a lie, or mislead people? Sure you jest!

I didn't see the movie "Beyond the Sea", but did they mention or portray anything related to when Bobby Darin used to perform on stage and what he had to wear below his belt?
To: SmithL
Scorsese is an idiot. I'll never drop a dollar to see some bulls**t flick about Hughes. Who cares, says I. But a movie about Dean Martin, the "King of Cool"? Now there's a movie I'd likely see multiple times, and buy the DVD and CD!

Every movie I have ever seen had fabrications to improve the dramatic narative. so what?

Forget the Aviator. Go see National Treasure. Plot holes you could drive a train through but suspend belief for a couple of hours and it a great movie. No nudity or cuss words and not gratuitous violence. Something you can even take the younger kids to see.

"The Aviator" -- a Golden Globe winner for best drama"
Winner for best DRAMA. I'm pretty sure that means it's not a documentary. Next thing you know, they'll be telling us that "1776" is a hoax, and George Washington never sang and danced.
To: Luddite Patent Counsel
George Washington was known as a very enthusiastic and skilled dancer. (I don't know whether he sang.)

I've read the Constitution at least a few times, and I don't recall any choreographic notations or a musical score ;-)
To: Luddite Patent Counsel
George Washington said practicing dancing made him a better horseman. (This is true.)

Tough, with wooden teeth....
To: Tax-chick
Speaking of the late and very great Ray Charles, I heard him say during a concert that a friend of his once asked why a blind man would keep so many beautiful women around. His answer: "Heh heh, I can do a lot more with my hands than you can ever do with your eyes".

actually George isn't in the cast of 1776.
letters from him are read aloud.
you must have been thinking of Adams or Lee.
